§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Health if he will give the total number of houses in the Borough of Huddersfield; how many are without baths; how many are without inside toilets; and how these figures on a percentage basis compare with the country as a whole.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe 1961 Census figures are shown in the following table. At the census households were asked whether they had the use of certain amenities; the figures of dwellings (houses and flats) not having an amenity are therefore approximate.
Huddersfield Country Borough England and Wales Number Per cent. Per cent. Total dwellings* 46,339 — — Dwellings with an occupier present 44,536 100 100 Of which: Without a bath inside the building 13,647 31 23 Without a W.C. inside the building or attached to it†; 9,233 21 9 * Houses, structurally separate flats, occupied caravans, etc. †These figures are now known to have been understated at the census. The true percentage for England and Wales is probably at least 15 but a separate correction for Huddersfield is not available.
